1) wood: Napoleon had all the trees he ever wanted - but he could not transport them. I should be looking up the demographics of France at the time because I remember men were so massively recruited in the army that there was no industry.
2) In Belgium we were very much fans of Motown stars - look up Natalia, she even tours with Pointer Sisters. We are that American.
Battle of Trafalgar?
Did you know that Napoleon did not even have enough wood to build a worthy fleet?
Oh, and if you are French...I am aware that general Moreau is perceived as a traitor by them.
This must be Slashdot where you get modded higher when you show the world you have no clue about what you are talking.
As a Belgian rat the only chest-thumping going on around here is me letting the world know that I am informed about latin and germanic history.
You know Belgium - the little American colony? As long as Atomic Bitchwax plays gigs here, I for one welcome my American Overlords.
Rule 0 by Jean Victor Marie Moreau: "Don't invade British Islands".
The letter with this piece of advice was not handed over to Napoleon. Other generals eventually persuaded Napoleon it would be a bad plan.
computer analogy: computer without input/output is no fun.
Peripheral nervous system is i/o with some southbridges (ganglia) here and there.
PNS gives:
1) Input to Central Nervous System and Autonomous System
2) Output from CNS to muscles and Autonomous System to fight/flight, digestion, defecation...
Oh and bus speed is faster in vertebrates through Schwann cells around neurons - but invertebrates make up with enormous long cells.
I think you are correct that this kit has value for neuroscientists.
However these debates also need to shed light on an evolutionary pathway of the nervous system.
Nerves are important for all organisms with heterotrophic food pattern - it gives them an incentive to react on a changing environment.
In the evolutionary sense our nervous system is very comparable to that of a cockroach having a ventral and dorsal nerve string with some ganglia (group of nerve cells) strewn along those strings, and one ganglion that is very intricate - the central processing unit - the brain.
Functional grouping of the nervous system:
1) Central Nervous System (CNS) bunches the inputs (afferent part of Peripheral Nervous system (PNS)) and gives output (through efferent part of PNS) to muscles
2) Autonomous input/output part of PNS helps for eg fight or flight, digestion, defecation...no CNS involved although CNS does record problems
Since pain is an input related part we do have an important clue that invertebrates can have this stimulation.
Error: False dichotomy "faith"/"knowledge"
All knowledge is limited by observation.
My wife and I are both engineers and religious.
We give a place to inaccuracy of observation. In this place resides our faith.
We can face the strangeness of the explanation that this faith is also fundamental to giving a place:
1) to the remembrance of dear ones that have past away
2) notions of guilt, repentance and mercy
3) to the collection of stories of the Old Testament - not always taking it literally
4) yeah, even miracles of Jesus and the crazy Johannes with his book of revelations
Let's just say we open our ears (and our heart) to religious stories - also Brahman surrounded by Trimurti, path to enlightenment of Buddha.
My Bulgarian Karate teacher has spent years in the USA and now lives in Belgium.
When he visits his mother in Sofia he rotates his head when saying yes or no, having difficulty of conforming to two different sets of agreement.
With "Mexican Phytophthora" I meant the new genotypes (type A2) that permits sexual reproduction with the predominant A1 type (until '70's) in Europe.
With your argumentum ad verecundiam you should be aware that major crop losses are happening due to sexual reproduction of these new types with the A1 type that caused famines in 1840 in Ireland and Flanders.
OK, you only misspelled it once: phyto instead of phytho, coming from Greek phuton ("plant").
The other part was misspelled by me: phthora ("destruction, corruption").
Let's reduce the problem of dietary diversification to one problem of shortage of a precursor to vitamin A and the industry is winning the GMO debate already.
Moreover this debate takes monoculture for granted.
A good example of problems with monocultures is a crossover of Phytophtora infestans (blight) with Mexican Phytophtora since the 80's, wreaking havoc on (cloned) monocultures of potatoes.
"please go to the nearest university psychology department."
There is this story about Mozart upon hearing the "Miserere" of Allegri at the Sistine Chapel during the holy Wednesday mass, writing down the music in the evening and applying corrections upon second hearing during the Mass of good Friday.
These got published later on and quickly became the most performed "A cappella" composition.
Transcription of this composition was punishable by excommunication.
However pope Clement XIV gave compliments to the father of Amadeus for such a talented son.
If you want a quick fix of mercy you could look up Michael Nyman's Miserere performed in "the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover"
"You can't h-a-n-d-l-e the truth mister junior analist"
A man of high authority once said this with a lot of pathos.
It's documented in the moving pictures.
Oh wait, the man of high authority got arrested.
Yeah well, it's just moving pictures really.
My Shiva Nataraja has four hands.
Vishnu also has four hands - he is even said to have four faces (I even found a Vishnu bronze from Sri Lanka with eight hands???).
However my Christ figure has none operational - though you could swear he is thinking "forgive them father, for they do not know what they are doing"
And politicians are giving you every incentive to convince you that they do not know what they are doing.
I haven't yet figured out if I should forgive politicians or bring them to trial.
From "the philosophy of Andy Warhol":
"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
This notion is originally from the play "huis clos" by Sartre.
The three persons in this play may have a very different background, but since they are dead we could say they are now equals.
Still they build up such devilish action that the play ends with Estelle wanting to kill Inès - the realisation of the futility of this, remember they are all dead already, fills them with laughter.
Now what Sartre meant is that the judgement others will bring forth upon our actions is hell.
"le bourreau, c'est chacun de nous pour les deux autres"
Sartre never meant it to be a passive undergoing of a devilish behaviour of others.
It is simply a necessity to become "the other" and a realisation of existence.
And note how funny it is that Sartre illustrated a notion that is only important for living people by bringing dead people to the scene.
I remember the picture of Bruce Dickinson (of heavy metal fame) taking a big bite out of two compact discs filled like a (big) sandwich with all things that make you fat,
meant to illustrate the robustness of CD's.
I also remember the feeling when I had to face it that I lost data beyond repair on a CD "backup".
I work my ass off myself and never get "quality learning time" (like schooling) from the bosses but eventually understood the difference between slaving and acquiring skills.
Working hard can help when you have good teachers - a hard lesson for me to learn in my late thirties during Karate training.
Anyway, the point I tried to make with my previous pathetic exposé about my daughter is the observation that my (40'ish) and younger generations are creating a huge divide in the skill arena by marrying in to the girls we met at university. Like some breeding selection we never really were looking after in the first place.
Skill-wise it is a game changer and I am not sure I am in peace with it - because I was taught, just like you, that working hard ought to get you skilled.
When I observe the immense difference my daughter made in her first year of school with the rest of her class, I cannot agree anymore that "hard work" will get you skilled.
My wife and I honestly don't gave our daughter a headstart with making her read or learn her to count, unlike some others of her class.
We are both engineers and we didn't even put our weight in just yet - you bet we will confront her upfront with what we think our interesting "deliverables".
One of the milestones to me at her 6 years of age was her looking closely to ant colonies and grabbing for worms when I am working in the garden.
It might help ofcourse when my wife and I explain to her that spiders are welcome in our house to cut down in the population of other insects - OK, I'm talking about the garage and the cave, not the living room.
This is the headtitle of some European editorials.
For the younger people: Stasi (Staatssicherheit) archived "information" on *everybody* in former DDR.
1 on 50 in former DDR was linked to Stasi as one of 90000 employees or 200000 informants.
explanation one:
In Dutch "stinkend rijk" (translation: stinking (filthy) rich) is a saying that goes back to the tradition of burying those people in church who attributed financially to the church.
Incense was used to cover the smell originating from the grave.
A good example is the Bruges cemetery installed under the Prusian invasion (+/- 1787) in Flanders and Netherlands.
The Prusian law ordered all corpses to be buried in the cemetery.
explanation two:
Tradition wants it that empereror Vespasianus replied "pecunia non olet" (translation: money does not stink) upon the indignation of his son Titus on his father levying taxes on public toilets.

You can also graciously quote Margaret Thatcher "that the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money".
